Golf and Jokake Inn at the Phoenician

Here is a photo of the Jokake Inn and the golf course at the Phoenician.

I took this while hiking and looking down from Camelback Mountain.

You see history, recreation, and greenery. A nice way to spend the afternoon.

Jokake Inn at the Phoenician

Here is a photo from Camelback Mountain looking down on The Phoenician Resort and Jokake Inn.

When hiking Camelback Mountain, you eventually end up on the southside of Camelback Mountain and can look directly down on The Phoenician Resort.

The Phoenician is buttressed up against Camelback Mountain.

Sun's Last Rays Basking over Jokake Inn

Here is one last photo of the soft glow of the sun at sunset sending its rays over the hand plastered walls of historic Jokake Inn Bell Towers.

This photo gives you more of a flavor of the size of the 1930s Inn. The photo is taken from the back of the Inn.

Can you imagine what it must have been like to stay in this small historic inn back in the 1930s?

There was very little development in the area. It must have been magnificent in its heyday and full of life. It is beautiful today but does not have the hustle and bustle it would have experienced in its peak.

Beautiful Lines of Jokake Inn

I like the architectural lines of Jokake Inn.

The bird is standing guard and thinks it is his territory. I like the details of the hand plastered walls.

The Inn was built in the 1930s and is located on the grounds of the Phoenician Resort and Spa in Scottsdale.

Jokake Inn Bell Towers

I think the bell towers at Jokake Inn are gorgeous. You can see the silhouette of the bell.

I took this photo with the last rays of the sun hitting the plaster walls of the bell tower. The sun's rays gave the building a magnificent glow.

The Jokake Inn is located on the grounds of the Phoenician Resort and Spa in Scottsdale.

I thought this was a perfect choice for Arizona's Theme Day of "Arizona's Treasures," which is being celebrated today.

Doors at Jokake Inn

Look at these beautifully carved wooden doors that are at the historic Jokake Inn, which is located on the grounds of the Phoenician Resort.

I love these territorial style doors. I would like them as the front doors to my house.

Tomorrow you shall see the famous Jokake Inn Bell Towers.

Historic Jokake Inn

We are now approaching the front of historic Jokake Inn, which is located on the grounds of the Phoenician Resort and Spa.

The Jokake Bell Inn Towers is the official name. It was designed and built in 1930 by an architect named Robert Guans.

The Inn was owned by Sylvia and Robert Guans from 1927 to 1950.

Camelback Mountain is located directly behind the Inn.

Jokake Inn and Golf Course

This photo was taken from the Phoenician golf course walking towards the historic Jokake Inn.

I think you will enjoy the photos of Jokake Inn that I will share over the next few days. The images in the photos will look like historic Arizona from territorial times.

It is good that the Phoenician Resort maintained Jokake Inn as we need to maintain the interesting architectural buildings that we have in Arizona.

Arizona became a state in 1912 so we are a a very young state and really value the ancient Anasazi and other Native American ruins and territorial structures like Jokake Inn.

Native American Statue at Jokake Inn

Here is the full size Native American bronze statue you saw part of yesterday.

The statue is quite detailed and interesting. It is placed in front of Jokake Inn, a historic building located on the grounds of the Phoenician Resort. You should enlarge it for details.

To the right of the statue is an Ocotillo cactus in bloom and a stately date palm is directly behind the statue.

I will be sharing more photos with you of Jokake Inn over the next few days as it is a magnificent architectural gem in Arizona.

Dove and Art at the Phoenician

Look at this dainty dove perching on the strong hand of the bronze statue, which is holding a bow and arrow raised to the blue sky.

This bird is not afraid of this fierce Native American statue. Check out the full view of the statue tomorrow.

The Phoenician is full of interesting art and statues.
